Does anyone else use this and what difference did you notice straight up?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make a huge difference but you will feel a bit more responsiveness and a bit more induction noise. Put the typhoon second intake on or knock one up yourself for the full benefit.

I'm using one and have not had any issues with it. I think it has helped but I haven't really done a before and after comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 5m 2d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 10/10/11 01:40 AM Share Posted 10/10/11 01:40 AM Alright now who's ready for a really really really stupid question.. I'm fairly sure of the answer but I just want to check with the knowledge base. I just bought a new CAI which comes with a cotton pod filter. It's not K&N.. Not actually sure of the brand.. The filter isn't pre-oiled and the instruction state :"If washing is required clean, wash in warm water and dry completely before re-fitting".. Now I'm almost positive that I shouldn't be fitting a non-oiled cotton filter... It looks exactly the same as a K&N pod I had previously on a WRX.. You're supposed to oil all cotton filters aren't ya (Just the K&N recharge kit)?? I just don't wanna go spray oil on something that I shouldn't..
